Easy Bud Autoflower

JohnD Another side project! This time germination room is a old server case from the scrape yard. I like it actually, it's perfect for microgrow with right techniques. Techniques, which I did not poses for the time being, but one day...Strain should love it to, it is Easy Bud after all. I decide to transplant it later and use my previous used cabinet for future growth. First week was smooth, nothing unexpected.

JohnD Everything was going smooth until Day13. Something appear on first true leaves. Something that I did not like, because I experienced that on my first plant, but in much, much later state. Something like a corrosion on surface of a metal. Back then I was thinking it's due overheat from the light source. That leaves eventually dried out and new one was also affected as well, but not to many and I just ignore it. This time I flush plant entirely with bottled water! I'm thinking something is wrong with my tap water or I don't know what. Current condition seems to halt at that state and new leaves was not affected. But that's was also wrong...

JohnD So far, so god, but not quite well! I'm dealing with some form of unknown to me disease/deficiency. First set of leaves are getting affected as you clearly see from photos. It's look like rust to me. It's seems it's not spreading, but that's not true :( Affected leaves looks discolored, definitely vissible missmatch on Day19 photo. Plant also seems stunned. Perfect time to transplant, hahah p.s. I was also busy and did not take enough photos lately.

JohnD I have the time to prepare the new 8l pot with new soil, visually different from previous one, which I know is against transplant rules. Hahaha. But how good can be a soil in 3-rd world country, which costs me 2EUR for 25l? How good can be newspapers in telling you the truth for just 0.99$ cents? Same, I think :) In the beginning of Week4 drastic measures had to be taken. Transplant and FIM take actions! Plant react surprisingly well to both of them, but the plague is still haunting me. Now it's getting to other leaves as well. I don't know what to do. Second set of leaves are getting affected...What it could be?!? Damn!

JohnD Can't believe how fast time flies! Am starting to think that this plant will be transform somehow into bonsai. It's seems slow in growth after FIMing /or what ever I did to her/ and transplant. No more local burnouts on leaves or what so ever after new soil was used, but now we have "praying" leaves. It's good sign, right? Buds are also forming, but with rather thick and short branches, close to stem, no stretching like with LST on my previous one. I'm starting get confused what should be in the end :) If someone read this lines, please, don't hesitate to comment if you spot something strange with plant in pictures. Stay safe...
